Dysport Type A Injection Dysport 500Unit High Purity Toxins Remove Wrinkles

Dysport  is a prescription drug whose main active ingredient is botulinum toxin type A. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing temporary muscle relaxation, thereby achieving therapeutic effects for various medical conditions and cosmetic purposes.

Main Uses
 

Dysport is approved for use in medical and cosmetic fields:

Medical Uses
 

Dystonia: Treatment of spasmodic torticollis in adults (abnormal posture and pain in the neck muscles).

Muscle Spasms: Used to treat muscle stiffness and spasms in the arms, hands, legs, and feet in adults and children over two years of age caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury, or cerebral palsy.

Axillary Hyperhidrosis: Treatment of excessive sweating in the armpits.

Cosmetic Uses
 

Wrinkle Reduction: Temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows) in adults (under 65 years of age).

Other Cosmetic Applications (Off-label Use): Skilled injectors may also use it to treat forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, jawline hypertrophy (face slimming), and calf slimming, etc.

Mechanism of Action
 

The mechanism of action of Dysport is to inhibit the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, from nerve endings. When muscles cannot receive contraction signals, they relax, thereby reducing wrinkles or relieving muscle spasms.

Characteristics

Fast Onset: Effects usually start to appear within a few days after injection (as fast as 24 hours), with a median onset time of approximately 2 to 3 days.
Long-Lasting Effect: The effect typically lasts for 3 to 6 months, depending on the treatment area and individual physical condition.
Good Diffusibility: Compared with other brands of botulinum toxin type A (such as Botox), Dysport generally has a larger diffusion range, making it more suitable for treating large muscle areas (such as the forehead and lower legs).

Different Dosage Units:

The units (s.U.) of Dysport are not interchangeable with those of other botulinum toxin products. Usually, about 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport are required to achieve the effect of 1 unit of Botox.
